Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. Using a unique enamel paint, it hardens and cures within 24 hours, allowing you to use your bath the next day. As part of the re-enamelling process, I repair any chips or scratches to ensure a smooth finish when the new enamel is applied. My resurfacing service is suitable for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. It only takes a day to do this procedure, which is much faster and cheaper than replacing your bath. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.
In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of your bathroom. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. After removal, redoing the tiling, reinstalling taps and drains, and potentially replacing the flooring are necessary. When you choose to restore your bath you are choosing the most environmentally friendly option as you won't be contributing to the vast amount of construction waste that gets produced on a daily basis. Traditional metal baths are common in older houses and can last for decades with proper maintenance. When their surface becomes dull and tired, chipped, scratched, etc, it is so easy to resurface them so they look brand new again and you'll have a perfect and strong bath in no time. Acrylic baths may not last as long as metal baths, but they can still be resurfaced to great effect. With individual repairs, I match the paint to your bath’s surface, but when resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a brilliant white enamel to the whole surface.
The materials I use to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. I have been using my preferred materials for many years so I know that they work and create the highest standard of repairs.
I complete all resurfacing work in-situ, so there’s no need to remove and transport your bath for repair. This way there is minimal disruption to you as I will only need to be working in your bathroom for a day before I'm out of your hair again. You may be familiar with Vitreous enamel, a specialized process where powdered glass is fused to the bath’s surface in a high-temperature kiln. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.
When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. There aren't many baths that I can't resurface, so give me a call today to find out if I can restore your bath for you in Monmouth.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.
2. I’ll sand down the top surface of your bath, stripping it back to the metal. 3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. Next, I will apply an additional layer of bonder over the surface. 5. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish. 6. After spraying, I’ll buff the enamel to achieve a flawless shine. 7. Give it 24 hours to fully cure, and your bath will be as good as new!
Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. One of the steps that takes some time is masking up and protecting all the surfaces around your bath to make sure no overspray gets on anything. This is a very important part of the procedure. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. If your bath has damage, this extra step can take a bit longer than if no repairs are needed.
I’ve been resurfacing baths for years, so I know exactly how to bring your bath back to life and make it look like new. Re-enamelling will give your bath a fresh, new look and feel, making it look like new again.
Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. By restoring your bath, you’re reducing waste and avoiding adding more to your local landfill. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.
I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. For the last 10 years, I’ve been using the same high-quality materials that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
What is the expected longevity of a bath re-enamelling?
The newly resurfaced surface will stay durable and shiny for many years to come. I’ll explain how to clean and care for the surface to maintain its flawless shine and smooth texture. Rest assured, all of my work is guaranteed for 12 months, offering you complete peace of mind.
